Vice President Harris has a 50-point lead over former President Trump among two- and four-year college students in the seven swing states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada, according to a new Generation Lab poll.
Why it matters: It’s a commanding lead that could even swing the results in some of these key states, depending on turnout among this youngest contingent of voters.
If they show up. Have done phone-banking. Hard to beat apathy.
“This revelation just in, young academics tend to be progressive!”
Hopefully they actually vote.
We can do a bit better than just hope, there is still time to volunteer to help get out the vote today and tomorrow on election day!
A lot of them are way more motivated than millennials or gen X
We’ll see. Gen Z - show us up in our dumb old faces. Are zoomers just the new boomers?
(What other phrases can i use to goad more zoomers into actually going to the voting booth?)
Threaten to use their slang, knowing that no matter how you use it, you’ll use it incorrectly?
“If you don’t go vote, you’re a skibidi!”
Bet.
Boy, we sure rizzed them good, no cap! Giggity.
I dare Gen Z to out vote my generation. (please do)
Historically, they are the largest group and have the lowest turn out.
What? Gen Z is largely people who have never voted. The ages range from 12 to 27.
I believe the point they are making is that age range is historically tough to turn out. Progressives have been praying for the youth to turn out for decades.
Gen Z is way more motivated than the previous generations though. It’s really a shame that gen alpha can’t vote yet.
I hate to say this, but it seems like I’ve been hearing this for every “generation” since mine - gen x (even though they - mostly the boomers - called us slackers). I think it was being said for boomers, too.
Question is - if they are “more motivated”, what are they motivated for? And if they are motivated for progress, are they going to vote or just posture on social media? While I sure hope it’s true that somehow this “generation” is different than all the others because of some magical inherent quality that no others had, I remain skeptical.
Not surprising. Young people tend to lean blue on top of the fact that being educated also tends towards dems.
Young women. One shouldn’t underestimate the incel vote.
Pennsylvania has more than 200 colleges or universities in the state. They range from giants like Penn State to small liberal arts colleges like Lebanon Valley. It is a sizable voting population. AOC campaigned at Penn State and a few other colleges.
Go out and vote!!!
She can’t compete with Trump’s lead amongst the stupids though
there’s just so damn many of them.
